Last evening the Villa Terrace had a fashion show and tea, the fashion show was coordinated by our good friend and designer Mary Mendla, owner of FACETS. Rishi Tea was in the house serving up plum cinnamon botanical TEA, and Boston Store had a consultant speak on the care of skin during the winter months. It's always fun to be involved in creative projects such as this.
I had a lot to be thankful for this holiday, Jon has returned from Uganda Africa, my mom is around to enjoy the family, and we will have a new member added to the family-Alice.
I will add pictures of Alice once she arrives in the USA-maybe 6-10 months from now.
Izzabelle will be missing her daddy while he's off to boot camp. Sometimes memories are hard to capture, but I'll bet her daddy will enjoy having a picture of his little doll while he's away.
A couple of weeks ago this band of artists visited the SOFA SHOW in Chicago. When it comes to personal photography it tends to take a back seat.. thus this is not a timely post, but still FUN.
I'm already thinking about what to bring in January for the wedding of Holly and Kyle. I am sure it will be a rest from the cold and blustery weather of Minnesota. I can feel the sun on my skin and the sand between my toes.
I wish I could work with images I have taken more often, but time just does not permit me to make artistic decisions and treatments to the photos. Last night Charlie and I played around with some of the images. Feel FREE TO CRITIQUE.
Last night a "Collection" of photographers met to share stories, ideas, and comradeship.
One of our colleagues sent me a site that inspired me to take some time for my own work and ideas. I thought I would share this image, shot from a moving vehicle, this young African farmer caught off guard, by the American voyeur in his land.
... the Photo Gods were with us--- weather wise, and subject wise! Megan was So much fun to photograph, and mom was just a delight. Thank you, we enjoyed our time with you today.
